Fishing yesterday

August 5, 2011 Comments Off on Fishing yesterday

Yesterday I fished with John O’Hearn and David Dalu. We left at 6:30 and immediately found a few tarpon rolling around, though only managed to feed the fly to two. In retrospect, we all felt as though we should have put a few more in the air, but the conditions were such that the tarpon…

Update on the flats/next month schedule

July 31, 2011 Comments Off on Update on the flats/next month schedule

There was a lapse in the information flow about fishing on the flats during mini-season. This annual “boater fest” keeps most flats captains at home catching up on some much needed rest or joining the crowd and trying to get their limit of lobsters before the season proper opens on 5 August. As far as…

July 24, 2011 Comments Off on Flats report

Fishing on the flats remains great–now that the wind is blowing a bit the permit bite is on, and the bonefish and smaller tarpon remain. If ever there was a time for a slam, this is it! As soon as I have some photos I’ll post them here. Regards, ncl/tac

Fishing report for EYW

July 22, 2011 Comments Off on Fishing report for EYW

After the Del Brown, I’ve enjoyed doing anything other than permit fishing. Fishing that tough, while awesome in it’s own special way, is very much like watching “There Will Be Blood”: great movie, well acted, super soundtrack, but after watching it I’m good with not watching anything serious for a while. With that in mind,…

Del Brown Results

July 21, 2011 Comments Off on Del Brown Results

The Del Brown this year was challenging. Between water temperatures approaching the 90’s in the afternoon, a complete lack of wind and cloud cover that made sight fishing nearly impossible, the conditions redefined difficult. At the end of day one, not a single team of the 14 competing in the tournament had hooked a fish.…

Bonefish/permit

July 16, 2011 Comments Off on Bonefish/permit

The bonefishing is great at the moment, as is the permit fishing. In fact, right now would be a great time to slam, as there are still a fair number of small(er) tarpon around. Tomorrw I pre-fish for the Del Brown with Aaron, and I’m hoping to get out tonight to grease the groove with…

The permit are around. I had a number of shots last evening with Captain Ray Vasquez, and there have been many captures/sightings recently of some larger than average fish. We looked for some bonefish as well, but did not see any. Here is some evidence, courtesy Aaron Snell: I am gearing up for the Del…

New flies are on the way from Dave Skok,just in time for the Del Brown next Monday through Wednesday.

Despite the fact that the last link I put up here didn’t work right away, I’m trying it again. Click the link at the bottom of the report for more NZ trout action, courtesy of my brother and mother. While it’s not raining today, it remains overcast and the forecast is for cloud cover and…
